Music and accents

Finally a kindred spirit! I'm obviously not the only
one to be severely addicted to any music from Square
games (puts on the soundtrack of Secret of Mana _again_).

I'm also a seriously batty collector of novelty songs. I
defy anyone to listen to Fish Heads and not feel a warm
glow for humanity.

Okay, now I'm scared! I love novelty songs, too - springs
from a record full of them being my favorite in my parents'
LP collection. Fish Heads in particular has a special place
on my playlist. *G*

If you were in Albuquerque you would be correct in saying
we have no accent. In fact there's a study (of which I
can't remember the name) that tracked accents/dialects
through out the US. The study found that Albuquerque had no 
discernable accent compared to the rest of the country.

Wow...as a matter of fact, I was in Albuquerque, visiting my
aunt's sister. It sounds like a fascinating study - I'd love
to get my hands on it! No accent in Albuquerque, huh? I 
wonder why that is.

Oh, and people in Chicago have an accent. It's nasal, like
Wisconsin's; a guy in Albuquerque actually guessed I was
from that area.
